Introduction

Hello people! I wanted to start this blog off with an introduction. I don't want to give out too many details but enough to hopefully keep you interested. Let's start with my name. It starts with an M and my last name starts with an E. Get it? The M.E. Life? No? Oh well. Regardless, that's all you get unless I know you in person! If so, say hi! 

ok, so, info about me. I just recently got remarried in April of 2020. You know, the year that EVERYTHING went to hell and a hand basket. I mean pandemics, murder hornets, eboli, something with some mouse or rat or something that could only happen in 2020, oh and don't forget the smoke. Everywhere. I live in the PNW and have lived here most of my life and I have NEVER seen smoke that bad. Dear Lord it was irritating. We even had to move our reception indoors thanks to the smoke. Oh wait, I mean wedding protest....Anyways, I have been divorced from my cheating husband for about 4 years now. We have 3 kids together, C, J and E are my life and everything I have done has been for them. 

I met my now husband in July 2017 just before my 1 year anniversary of my divorce and just after the 1 year anniversary of our separation. We were introduced to each other so we could have a date to our mutual friends wedding in Aug but we wanted to meet and make sure we even were attracted and could stand each other. After talking online for a week, we met in person and hit it off. Living 4 hours away from each other made it so we used messenger and text messages to stay in contact. It also allowed us to communicate more then I ever have in any past relationship, my ex husband included. We had a strong foundation and, while still hard dating long distance, made it worth it. After our friends wedding, we decided to date officially and see where it went. A year and a half later, and the kids and I moved to where he was living (I lived there before and moved away because of ex and then moved back because it's always been home for me) so we were now 20 mins apart and seeing each other more regularly. 10 months later, the kids and I moved into his place with him and his parent. 2 months later, his parent moved out and we had the place to ourselves (kids lived with us). 6 months later, we got married and was the best decision we ever made. Having a partner who loves you, supports you, encourages you, and walks through life beside you is amazing and something my first marriage lacked. Maybe one day I will blog about that but that day is not today! 

As of right now, life is not normal thanks to the lovely pandemic. I am working full time while my husband and 3 kids are all doing school zoom classes and clogging up the internet. It's loads of fun. The purpose of this blog, whether I have readers or not, is to be able to write about things I think are important, things that I need to get thoughts out on or need advice on, and just a place to let my mind wander! I'm a talker and figured this was another good way to 'get it out'. 

Well, that's me in a nutshell. I know, no personal information for you to figure out who I am. But it's the internet and you don't need that! I hope you enjoy my blog and I promise to keep up with it as much as possible! Thanks for reading!
